Note: the Norfolk Chronicle was published in Norwich. When no place is

place referred to. Similarly, mentions of "the Castle", the City Gaol"
etc refer to institutions in Norwich.

Wednesday night two fellows, old offenders, were detected robbing
the coal binn [sic] of Mr TOMPSON, brewer, in St Martin's at Oak.
They had filled two sacks, and a large basket. One was secured and
committed to Bridewell by the name of Chand FLOWER [sic - I suspect
that this may be the family name CHANDFLOWER]; the other made his
escape, leaving his wig and hat behind.

Thursday was committed to the Castle, by R. KERRISON, Esq., Robert
SANDALL, of Bramerton, charged with stealing plough irons, the
property of Mr James CULLING, farmer.

Sunday last was married at St Mary's, Mr James BASEY, bricklayer, of
this city, to Miss MUNSEY; a young lady possessed of every
accomplishment to render the connubial state truly happy.

On Wednesday last died in this city, in the 82d year of her age, Mrs
LOVE, relict of the late Barry LOVE, Esq., of Yarmouth.

On Monday last died, in the 88th year of his age, Mr Walter CARVER,
father of Mr Philip CARVER, in St Andrew's.

On Wednesday last died, Mrs Ann PRATT, aged 79, widow of the late

Shipwreck.

Whereas in the Course of the last Week a considerable Quantity of
Norway Deals, and Battens, have been taken up form the Beach to the
North and South of Yarmouth, and more daily driven on Shore along
the Coast of Norfolk and Suffolk, and having Reason to apprehend it
may be part of the Cargo of the Emmanuel, Captain Gulick PEDERSON,
bound from Fredericksmald to the Consignment of Mr William
MANNING, at Yarmouth, it is earnestly requested of all Persons in
Possession of such Deals, Battens, Half Deals, or Paling, or who
hereafter may obtain Possession, to give an Account thereof to the said
William MANNING, who will be accountable for the full Salvage; and
any Person knowing, or who may hereafter know, where such Deals, etc
are deposited or concealed, and will give Information, so as the same may
be recovered for the Proprietor, shall receive ample Reward by applying
to the said William MANNING.

house, Brick and Tile, Stables for eighteen Horses, Barn, Granary, and
other suitable attached and detached Offices, all lately rebuilt, with six
hundred and eighteen Acres of Land, Meadow and Fen Ground, in a Ring
Fence.

This Farm was held on Lease about five Years since at 309 pounds per
Annum, but from the low Price of Farming Commodities was reduced to
260 pounds per Ann. to Lady [day], 1781; from which Time it has been
in the Hands of the Owner, whose insolvent Situation obliges him to sell
this Estate to the Best Bidder.

of any monied [sic] Man, and will, after deducting every Outgoing,
produce a net Penny Rent of 156 pounds per Annum.
